Jetson Nano Headless Setup and Operation

As a matter of convenience, it is better to operate the Jetson Nano without a dedicated keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The ability to log into Jetson without a concern of external connectivity is a capability necessary for the ease of development associate with program development involving AI related libraries and navigation through Linux without Ubuntu inhibiting matters.

To get connected to the Jetson, it is necessary to download, install, and configure a PuTTY for SSH client utility to get access. It is necessary to get the IP address of the Jetson on the local network through the ifconfig command prior to changing over to the headless setup.
